What is the Incarnation?

If you want to really understand the New Testament and the gospel, you’ve got to start with the incarnation—a truth that goes far beyond Christmas.

The miracle of Jesus’s incarnation touches on deep truths, speaking to the very nature of God and humanity. Author William Evans shows how the Bible consistently supports the incarnation as actual fact. He also describes the early church’s efforts to express this great mystery and explores some key questions about this vital doctrine and its practical implications for our daily lives.
